My Heart

My heart is split in two
What the maidservant could not see by the water
Like a storm from the sea, it pounds
Like Miriam's timbrel, it beats
And there is no cure in the world
 
My heart surrenders
Stumbles, can no longer stand on its feet
Just a wreck with no purpose
And the sky is like a wall to me
How can I pass through the sea on dry ground
 
And only You can turn my mourning into dancing
To purify the sand
To soften all in me
And only You know how to approach my heart
You lessen any pain within me
You heal my heart
 
My heart is split in two
Half of it is guilty, and half of it is for the sake of Heaven
Like a storm from the sea, it pounds
Like Miriam's timbrel, it beats
And there is no cure in the world for the heart
 
And only You can turn my mourning into dancing
To purify the sand
To soften all in me
And only You know how to approach my heart
You lessen any pain within me
You heal my heart
 
And there is still a foe who bothers the flock
And there is no envoy who would scream for God
Only I before a whole sea, and a broken heart
 
And only You can turn my mourning into dancing
To purify the sand
To soften all in me
And only You know how to approach my heart
You lessen any pain within me
You heal my heart
 
And only You can turn my mourning into dancing
To purify the sand
To sanctify all in me
And only You know how to approach my heart
You lessen any pain within me
You heal my heart

Can I have your permission to translate this to Spanish?

Sorry for the delay, I've got so much homework to do, I can barely breathe.

I just can't believe that you find my translations worthy for translating. I never feel sure of them, and I know that someone else could definitely do a better job than I am.

It is an honor for me that you deem my translations as worthy of your time. And of course, thank you for respecting me by asking first. It means a lot to me.

You have my full permission to use this translation.

It's quite alright, I checked today for a reply because I was busy with work yesterday

Your translations are wonderful, I don't know the language well enough to even attempt to translate one line, let alone a whole song. So I really appreciate your translations!

Thank you for giving me permission, I didn't want to translate someone else's hard work without asking first. :)

Wait! Would you like me to write down the word-for-word / literal translation so it would be more accurate for you?

If you could send me a PM with that, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello,
I would want to translate this song into Russian and I want to say that I understand almost the whole song except some parts. I hope you are not against if I use your understanding of the song I mean English version in my translation.
From your translation, I get an explanation for the parts of the song which I don't understand. For me, your translations are really helpful.
Thank you in advance.

Here the word חול doesn’t mean sand it means like the bland or regular ( like weekday המבדיל בין קודש לחול) so it’s saying you make holy the mundane
